here's a rare event that we should not miss! I wonder who are the otakus in our government, hmmm. As I heard one of the winning candidate in the previous election is a gamer otaku, and I wont tell who it is, hehehe, he's a big online game player. Check out the news from Japan, and a local politician's gimik in organizing a cosplay party for his campaign in the coming election.

40-year-old economic commentator Takaaki Mitsuhashi campaigned for this summer’s House of Councillors election by hosting a “cosplay party” at the Liberal Democratic Party’s Tokyo headquarters on Saturday. Mitsuhashi previously wrote an economic analysis of the popular online bulletin board system 2channel, and he appeared at the party dressed as the calculating father figure Gendō from Gainax’s Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series. About 200 people participated in the party with Mitsuhashi in cosplay, karaoke, and other activitiesnew via Japan Probe and Sponichi (check out Japan Probe's page for the politician's campaign in Akihabara w/ cosplayers).
